I have had a couple of those, never had any problems with them. Though replacement batteries cost more than half the price of a new UPS so I ended up just buying a a second UPS when the original batteries got rather feeble. (After 7 years). I've now stopped using it though because of the cost of the electricity it uses. It uses 18W when just sitting there ready for action, which worked out at 40GBP a year! -- Tixy
